Brandon Marshall Says Odell Beckham Jr. 'Obviously Is the Best Player' in NFL

Adam WellsJul 29, 2017

Entering his first season with the New York Giants, wide receiver Brandon Marshall has considerable praise for his new teammate Odell Beckham Jr.

Per SportsCenter on Instagram, Marshall said Beckham is "obviously" the best player in the NFL:

It can be difficult for a wide receiver to be regarded as the best player in the NFL because the position is dependent on quarterbacks getting them the ball. Beckham is one of the few players who can break through.

Pro Football Focus noted Beckham forced 29 missed tackles last season, 20 more than Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers and 22 more than Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons and T.Y. Hilton of the Indianapolis Colts.

Beckham has been in the NFL for three seasons after being selected at No. 12 overall in the 2014 draft and has made a huge impact on the Giants over that time. The three-time Pro Bowler has recorded at least 1,300 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in each of the past three seasons.
